Lisa Snowdon’s shock facelift confession – ‘I love tweakments!’

By Shelley Spadoni

Television and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon has been in the showbiz spotlight for more than three decades. Her rise to fame kicked off at just 19 when she was discovered dancing in a London club by a model scout, leading to a successful modelling career with appearances on the cover of top fashion magazines and campaigns for brands including Gucci and Dove.

Transitioning to TV, Lisa has made her mark on iconic shows including Strictly, I’m A Celebrity, Celebrity MasterChef — which she won — and This Morning . She was also a presenter on Capital London’s breakfast radio show for seven years. Lisa is also in a good place when it comes to love. When we catch up with the 53-year-old, engaged to long-time partner George Smart since 2016, she looks relaxed and happy — and tells us with a smile that the pair couldn’t be more committed to each other, wedding rings or not.

“Listen, I love George so, so much,” she says. “And I honestly don’t think that having a marriage would change that love, you know. I don’t think it would make it stronger.”

While they have yet to tie the knot, Lisa insists the couple’s bond runs deep. “Being engaged already feels like a wedding to me. I really feel like we’re committed to each other. I think we probably will get married at some point but there are just so many other things on our to-do list.”

Known for their shared love of adventure, Lisa and George, 44, are often jet-setting around the globe, and the idea of a destination wedding certainly appeals. “I went to a place in Italy recently, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this would be amazing for a wedding,’” she says. “We do talk about it, we just haven’t got around to planning it.”

Despite the lack of a date, Lisa’s commitment couldn’t be clearer, as she jokes, “He’s my partner for life, so there’s no way he’s getting away from me and I’m getting away from him, regardless of whether we’ve got a contract.”

Blissfully loved-up, it’s no surprise Lisa has a gorgeous glow, but she’s refreshingly honest about the skin treatments that help maintain her beautiful complexion. She opens up about her love for “tweakments”, and reveals she has become obsessed with Morpheus8, which she describes as a “deep, intense microneedling”.

“I love all that stuff. I think it’s amazing, I think it’s up to the individual what they want to do,” she says. “If somebody’s deeply unhappy and they want to do a neck lift, face lift, boob job or whatever to their body, it’s totally up to them. And I think there are some amazing treatments, subtle and more extreme, that can be done. I’m open to all that. Absolutely.”

On the career front, Lisa continues to shine, with her regular slot as a fashion expert on ITV’s This Morning a highlight. She says proudly, “I think it must be coming up to 10 years that I’ve been on the show. Yes, it’s been a long time. And what I guess I love about it is that I get to work with our viewers.”

Walking us through the magic of the makeover — when a viewer gets transformed in her expert hands — she explains, “You see them first thing, they come in their own clothes, we style them up, we get them into hair and make-up, we get them out on the catwalk. It’s a beautiful, empowering moment for them. I love that part about my job. I’m a girls’ girl and I love to empower women. Women supporting women is what I’m all about.”

But even after years in the entertainment business, Lisa giggles that, when it comes to live television, anything can happen. “I mean, live TV… there are always things that go wrong! You might say a word and think, ‘Oh God, I didn’t mean that,’ but that’s just live TV. And onceit’s out there, it’s done. There’s no going back.”

A seasoned presenter, Lisa takes the occasional hiccup in her stride, but she also confesses quietly that her turbulent journey through perimenopause really affected her confidence on-camera. “I was in the depths of perimenopause and the brain fog was there, and I was a bit like a rabbit in the headlights a couple of times. When I look back at it, you can’t tell, but in my head, I was like… panic. There were a couple of shows where I felt a bit… wobbly.”

But now, she says, “I just feel really blessed that I’ve had a very long career and that I’m still enjoying it.” Although she’s always been “go go go” when it comes to work, she does try to strike a healthy work-life balance and reconnect with her fiancé after a busy week.

“That’s something that we really aspire to have,” she says. “Last week, for example, I was on a train a lot. I was up and down and I had to stay away one night, but we made up for it when I had a weekend off. We always kind of reconnect. It’s a good work-life balance, which is something I’ve really wanted to get hold of, because otherwise, what’s the point?”

Lisa has spoken openly in the past about not having children, which she details in her book Just Getting Started . She says writing about that journey was an emotional and healing process for her. “I think I came to terms with that, and it was really powerful when I wrote my book. I just really got a lot of that out. Writing about it was super cathartic.”

Now, Lisa is busy hosting her podcast with Andy Goldstein, We’re Not Getting Any Younger, and has some new work projects coming up that are “very exciting”. “But sorry,” she adds, “ I can’t reveal anything just yet!”

She tells us she has also partnered with Zespri SunGold kiwifruit as she continues to advocate for health and wellness. “Diet is so important to feeling good,” she says. “And just one of these golden fruits gives me all I need to tackle the day.”
